Probably being used around the necks of fortunate uses in the Biblical lake of fire. THE "CAMPUS KIDS" The senior sat at the top of the gymnasium steps and smiled. Below him, oblivious to eyedroppers and the oncoming night, sat the "campus kids." Perched side by side in a "bran" new, rubber-tired, ball-bearing" express wagon, they gazed at the administration building and talked excitedly. The tow headed younger bragged that he had been in every building on the campus and "knew 'em jesis as well as old Quincy School." Then the black haired boy interrupted with the information that he knew four professors on the campus and "all kinds of guys." They lapsed into an argument about the big things that they would accomplish when they came on the bill. The man on the steps listen to their plans and bethought himself of some statistics that he bad seen. "Out of every hundred fifth grade pupils, only fourteen will graduate from high school, and but two of these will receive diplomas from a university or college." Could it be that for these two eager side-awake boys there were ninety-eight other children who would never finish school? Was it possible that these ardent youngsters had but a two percent chance? In a country that is noted - - - - They were practicing the Rock Chalk now, and arguing about which yell the loader. Back from the closed and silent windows of the administration building came the creek in a faint "-- chalk, K -- U, --" The senior grinned happily and be thought himef of the immortal word of an economics professor: "There are three kinds of liars—plain liars, damned liars, and statistics." It's nothing to get zero in a quiz. DAD AND HIS DAY DAD AND HIS DAY Mother has had her day for years. And now comes Dad's Day. It is Dad who will occupy the box seat at the feature performance next Saturday. It is Dad who will be tendered the applause of the audience between the acts. And it is Dad for whom the show is being staged. Dad. It is usually in connection with a "please remit" slip that we think of him. For it is he who writes the check to cover the extra expense and does it without a whimper, smiling understandingly the while. While we were in high school Dad didn't mean much to us. He couldn't understand. He lived in a world remote from ours of fun and petty soda intrigue. Yesterday Dad gave us a licking in the wood-shed, and then turned up and tried our tears with his poke handerchief. Today he means more to us than ever before. And we are just coming to appreciate a little bit the sacrifices he has been making, and is making for us. Invite Dad up for Dad's Day The best hand to hold is an accord and four kings. STAMPS FOR ADS STAMPS FOR ADS Govems the report that the Italian governs has decided to permit private firms to advertise on its postage stamps. This innovation may be all right for a little old hard-up country like Italy, but what American, however commercialized his ideas may be, is willing that the American government accept the offer recently made it by Florens Ziegfeld, wealthy manager of the Ziegfeld Folies, and husband of Billie Burke of movie fame? “In perfectly good faith,” Mr. Ziegfeld offers to finance an entire issue of one billion two-cent stamps if these will carry the photograph of his illustrious wife. Moreover, he offers to give the Government sixty per cent of all gross receipts. One of his chief arguments seems to be that it would not be beneath the dignity of the United States government to follow the example of Rome. Should Ziegroff's offer be accepted what is to hind; r later issues carrying family group pictures of Mary, "Doug", and the Fairbanks' dog; or a Charlie Chaplin or Ben Turpin see? Who knows, "Fatty" Arbuckle might even resort to this method of advertising as a means of restoring his lost popularity. And when a divorce happened in Hollywood town, the stamps bearing the photographs of the couple would have to be surcharged. "Divorced." And what an expense that would be. We're strong advocates of ventilation but is it always necessary to say something when the mouth is open? WRITING HOME Everyone does it now and then. Writing home is a habit which most students perform at mechanical intervals just as they wash their teeth in the morning. And many of their letters are no more nor less enlightening than the small phrase, "Please remit." There is nothing else on earth of more vital interest to parents than the aspiration and deeds of their own children. Mother and Dad like to hear that Son has made an A in a quiz and would please like to receive an addition to his bank account. But Dad would relish more, a vivid description of last Saturday's football game or the details of the night shirt parade, bringing back memories of his own college days. His parents have known him intimately. And when he goes away to college they miss these little details of daily human contact. In little doeds as well as big ones, in all that one thinks and in all that one is interested in, are parents interested. Let's write home now and tell *one* all about us. Some professors have discovered that little students often have big years. ASSEMBLING THE WAR The critical attitude is often attributed to students in regard to matters of tradition, religion, or morality, not the outgrowth of a spirit of insincerity. Neither is it a reflection of carelessness. It is in line with the spirit of the age. ASCERTAINING THE WAY Systems and practices that were regarded in a matter-of-fact way are being viewed with an attitude of critical investigation. They are being tested as to their consistency, their rationality, their justice. The innumerable creeds, each asserting itself in the right, are coming under the critical surveillance of people in general and of students in particular. The result is a search for principles that are universal. Political institutions that had withstood the storms of centuries were destroyed overnight, so to break, in the past few years. Not only politics, but science as well, is doing things today that yesterday were considered merely the illusions of dreamers. People are coming more and more to consider all proposed changes of any kind with unprejudiced criticism. Students are looking for things that are essential and discarding that is impractical and unnecessary, no revolutionary change, but invas An easy way to get a flock of hon orary degrees conferred upon one it to become president. igation establishing those practices that will stand the test, is being made. HISTORY CLEARING HOUSE Contrary to the common belief, the house president's council, compose each year of women representing every organized women's roomin house in connection with the University, is not a purely disciplinary body In fact, enforcement of rules is considered the least among its duties. A K. U. CLEARING HOUSE This year an especial effort is being made to make the council function as a democratizing body and a a clearing house for activists among women of the University. An attempt will be made to distribute HI activities among the women of the different houses, thus relieving the few overworked but willing women who are trying to do more than their strength and time allow, just because they see most clearly the things which need to be done. The council, representing as it does every University woman has an unparalleled opportunity to foster the spirit of democracy on the campus. The new aim of the house president's council is worthy of consideration but will need the hearty support of every University woman to enable it to function vitally. One cannot tell from the looks of a man how far his imagination will expand. We often wonder what it is which attracts students to K. U. from f. and wide-almost from every corner of the globe. Frequently to satisfy our curiosity, we ask of new students how you happen to come to K. U.?" I had an attack of this question fever, and selecting fifty statents representing different types and nationalities to question. They had heard about the sympathetic attitude of the faculty toward foreigners, and the co-operation of the general student body to make their stay in this University more pleasant. A Boost for the "Y" To the Editor: Campus Opinion Of those questioned, sixteen 100 cent said that they came here because K. U. was very stinne in doing homework. Of those who were responding to take work, Chaing living expenses and facilities for self-support were the reasons that brought eighteen per cent of the students into school. We were enthusiastic about the cooperation and help which they received from the University Y. M. K. A. is getting them work and recommending their lodging and boarding houses. Twenty per cent were induced to come to K. U., because of the glowing amount of K, U. life which they heard from their jashawk friends. The were loud in their praise of the wonderful way in which they have been received in the family of Jay-hawkers. It takes time to do good work but it takes no longer to do it Two per cent said that they wanted to see real American Life and came into the Middle West as this section was typically American in character.

Campus Clothes Girls who wear satin slippers, and other regalia equally inappropriate, on the Hill are becoming more scarce each year, but we still have a few of them with us.

In reality, she displays greater discourtesy, for she is not only in bad form but is unpleasant to look at, while the first girl, though foolish, might be a pleasant sight at an afternoon tea.
